Pat, our new washer cleans well without the agitator. The lid/door of the washer has a clear window and it appears to clean thoroughly when I've watched it washing a load. My DH told me yesterday that our clothes smell cleaner than they did with our previous washer. I'm still using the same detergent so the fresh smell must be from the washer.

I called the appliance store to see what they had in stock. Told the guy I wanted to stay away from Whirlpool because mine broke down after just a few years. He said, “I hear that all the time.” Too bad he didn’t mention that when he was selling me the darn machine. 🤣

Aside - they put me on a waiting list through end of January!!! Because of COVID, the supply chain for appliances is very low. I switched to a more basic model than the one I wanted and was told it might be in by mid-December. Fortunately I only had to wait two weeks. Not a washing machine, but so far I'm happy with the GE range I purchased. |

I've had great luck with my Whirlpool side loading washer and dryer. My original washing machine lasted 16 years and I replaced it with another just like it. I still have the original Whirlpool side loading dryer, now 18 years old. And I have VERY hard water.
On the other hand, I can't find a dishwasher that will last more than 2 years. And appliance repairmen tend to be useless. More than once I've called one out that tells me I need a new motherboard that costs more than the appliance, and then I google it and fix it myself. This is an industry I wish some silicon valley entrepreneur would disrupt.

I just bought this one from Lowes about a year ago after my 12 yr old washer stopped working and I didn't want to repair it again. I like having an agitator and "deep clean" option for sheets and larger items. So far, no problems and it cleans really well. I did buy the 5 year warranty though, just in case I run into issues.
I opted for the delivery, installation, and for them to take my old washer too. It costs a little extra but was worth the convenience. It was delivered about 3 days after I ordered online. https://www.lowes.com/pd/GE-4-2-cu-f...ite/1000757210
